Education for Nonviolence

Where are we going? How do we want to live? Is it possible to act without violence and eliminate social and economic injustice? These are questions explored in the education for nonviolence workshops and programme.

Education for nonviolence studies the factors that maintain personal, interpersonal and global violence in the world. Education for nonviolence helps young people understand how their personal and interpersonal violence is linked to global violence and vice versa. It gives young people the opportunity to discover nonviolent methods to solve problems and conflicts. The workshops introduce some characters from the history of nonviolence, and tools for reflection and relaxation. Finally, education for nonviolence presents different models of actions allowing nonviolent changes in social, economic and racial conditions.
